THE fact that there are 10000 or Is, 900
Anarchists in Chicago and probably less
number in proportion to population in
every city in the country, seems to dis
prove the theories of those optimists who
believe that America is so American that
it can "assimilate, - as they delight to term
it, an unrestricted influx OF foreigners.
They believe in opening wide the gates and
letting all come in who will in the belief
that almost Immediately upon their land
ing at Castle Garden they will become
AmeIicanized. Thus far we have accepted
their teachings and the result is that
We find nearly 10000 "citi-
zens" of Chicago marching behind
the corpses of four executed murderers
and bearing on their breasts the red en-
blem of Anarchy aud calling on the police
to take the Stars and Stripes out of their
procession. Already We have quite -four
ishing AnarchiStic press in this country,
and the AuarchistiC vote is such that some
have even accused Gov. OGLEsBY Oftoady-
ing to it in MS decision committing the
sentence Of two OF the condemned
Anarchists. Are not recent events
sort of handwriting ON the wall
which our lawmakers would do we'll to
to heed before Anarchy and Socialism get
their grip on Congress? There is plenty
ofroom in this country for honest men who
desire to earn au honest living and will
accept our flag, but there should be no
room here for such q procession as that
witnessed Sunday in Chicago, and which
could be repeated in almost any city of
Chicago's size in the Union. There are
some tough morsels which Uncle Sans
stomach cannot assimilate and we should
not wait till hei $ compelled to spew them
out, before we administer the remedy.
On THE 7th OF next April will occur the
one hundredth anniversary of the first set
tlement of the Northwest Territory, under
the United States Government, which was
made at Marietta. The people of that
city, with the idea of fittingly celebrating
the event, have formed Woman Centen-
NAL Association, as afOrding the surest
and best means of accomplishing the end
in view. As means of acquiring pOr-
tiOn Of the cash necessary to carrying ont
II, : 10 Ia. a.,
a sOrtof preliminary entertainment, direct
IL in the line ofthe Centennial celebration,
which would thus serve the dual purpose
of providing funds and awakening public
interest in the maiD enterprise. This en-
tertaiument, will he in the form of an his
torical pageant, presented at the City Hall,
in Marietta on the 18th inst, and prom
ises to be we'll worth seeing.
SPEAKING Of the Anarchists funeral the
Chicago NelrS says: 'In all the procession
rs far rs the eve could determine there was
not an American face. This was signiti
cant of the composition of the procession" D"
Marching in front Of the procession was an
old gray-haired veteran soldier bearing
aloit a copy of the Stars and Stripes. The
enraged Anarchists called on the police to
take the tag away. The police, to keep
order, attempted to do SO, but the crowds
lining the sidewalks surged forward and
prevented them, and the Stars and Stripes
foated at the head OF that revolutionary
procession cheered by the spectators all
along the roate. There is much signiti-
canoe in all this.
